I have 4 SC's running on my computer and every SC Application runs 6 to 14 charts. The total size of each application is not larger than 800 MB.
I recently made some changes to my charts and also downloaded some more data to the charts.
When I made back ups of my charts, I noticed that the size of one of my SC is 6.23 GB.
How do I fix this?
Where can I see which charts are so big, as I do not need that much data stored?
If the problem is cause by maybe tick data that I downloaded, how do I undo that?

If you are referring to the size of Sierra Chart data files, that size is not unusual.

Tick by tick data will take more space.

What can I do to rather work with smaller files.
How do I erase some of the big files and replace with minute data files?
How do I see which are the big files?

You can see the file sizes through File >> Find Symbol.

And has been previously linked to, you can use the Intraday Data File Management function to reduce file sizes:
